vBulletin Link-Fetch, similar to facebook

1 Attachment(s)

What does this addon do?

It shows thumbnails and informations to links, which got entered in the posts, just like attachments at the end of a post, similar to facebook.

This addon is early beta, so please give me some feedback :)

Installation:

Copy all files and directories of '/upload' into your forumroot, afterwards import the product file 'product-vblinkfetch.xml' in AdminCP.

If you don't use TMS, you need to change a template manually:

Name of tempate: postbit_legacy

Search for:

PHP Code:


		
			
<vb:if condition="$show['attachments']">

Above this insert:

PHP Code:


		
			
<vb:if condition="$show['linkfetch']">

    <div class="attachments">

        <fieldset class="postcontent">

            <legend><img src="{vb:stylevar imgdir_misc}/paperclip.png" class="inlineimg" alt="{vb:rawphrase vblinkfetch_attached_links}" /> {vb:rawphrase vblinkfetch_attached_links}</legend>

            {vb:raw post.linkfetch}

        </fieldset>

    </div>

</vb:if>

Of coz you can put this below the attachment fields or any other place you like in that template.

Now you can configure the addon under:

'Settings' -> 'Otions' -> 'vBulletin-Linkfetch'

That's it :)

Vossi I get this error if "Additional informations" is set to yes. If I turn it off it seems to work fine.

Just an update. Ive tried all thumbnail sites and they all kick back the same error if that option is selected.

Gret job Vossi, i would love to see an option for ignoring or blocking some custom domains.

Found another issue Vossi.

When using artviper.net it fails to create a thumbnail if the link is internal. Say to another post on the same forum. Also with artviper.net a PDF link is ignored and a missing attachment is displayed.

On an up-note I noticed dead links to pages no longer available now displayed the websites homepage if one was available.

Feature request. Many members have websites that they link to on their profiles. It would be nice to include this.

Sometimes it takes a while until the thumbnail is build by the thumbnail services. That's why a kind of 'waiting' screen ist getting shown sometimes.

I was concentrating on the german thumbnail services, but there should also be others available which can be added as user defined.

I'm working on this right now like select for single posts, forums etc. Maybe Im done with it by tomorrow.

You had me until it required manual edits. Tagged until it uses hooks.

Its not the delay while the thumb builds but an actual problem loading an internal link and the pdf. Other external links on the same page work just fine.

Tagged! This one has some real potential.:D

Vossi, thumbshots.org killed the images today. Worked fine yesterday but not today.

I once used Shrinktheweb.com for thumbs in the profile. Can you look into their free service and try and integrate it into the mod.

Heres a link. http://www.shrinktheweb.com/content/...nail-code.html

Also can you include the option for more user defined inputs. Right now it seems to only support IMG SRC but allot of thumbnail providers use JS or PHP.

A list of popular Thumbnail Services.

Thanks again....

So Scalemotorcars do you have this mod working on your site? I think this would be of great use but from what I am reading it sounds like it is not working very well.

Sorry to say I uninstalled. All the thumbers would stop working within a day. I think it has more to do with the thumbers maxing out requests.

Hi,

Just want to know what thumbnail service this uses?

Vossi

10-04-2013 06:54 AM

You can choose between several like thumbshots.de, mr. thumb, thumber, artviper, thumbshots.org or even use a user defined service.

ckgb	01-05-2014 09:36 AM

Works great on 4.2.2
I used custom http://www.shrinktheweb.com

Eventually unistalled because it will be promoting lin posting, as I would imagine. Not quite my goal.

But it does work and looks nice.

After tweaking many things, I got this to work on 4.2.0. Now the only problem is that it doesn't show any explanation. What do I need to do to get the explanation posted?

Hi! is there any way we can disable this mod from fetching (Youtube) links? Because I have youtube automatic link converter and with this mod, it looks ugly :\

I noticed that Richie, that is why I asked, there are so many mods here not upgraded from the early days of vb4 era, and they still work until now ;).

Many still work but many are also outdated and potential security risks.
A lot of these were coded to work with deprecated versions of vB, PHP, and MySQL.
When a mod isn't supported you're taking a risk using it, even if it ostensibly appears to work.
